Moc Chau Eco Network Manifesto

 

Agricultural Network & Moc Chau Ecotourism was established with the aspiration to build a sustainable development ecosystem, where tourism, agriculture and local service business units can cooperate, share and develop based on common values: respect for nature – preserve indigenous culture – create sustainable livelihoods for the community.

We believe that the strength of Moc Chau lies not only in the majestic natural landscape or the diverse culture of ethnic minority communities, but also in the close association between local subjects. Each unit participating in the network is an important “link” in the value chain of tourism – ecological agriculture. When connected to each other, those links create a lively, unique and reliable destination.

Our mission includes:

  • Connecting tourism, agricultural and local service facilities to form a sustainable tourism – agricultural ecosystem.
  • Support units to improve management capacity, brand and service quality according to a set of ecological criteria.
  • Build trust with visitors by ensuring quality & transparency criteria, helping visitors choose reliable services.
  • Promote Moc Chau as a leading ecological destination, attract environmentally conscious tourists, promote indigenous cultural values, increase community value.

Quality standard monitoring mechanism

To maintain prestige and service quality, the network builds and operates two sets of separate supervision criteria, suitable for the characteristics of different member groups:

  • Ecotourism criteria: focusing on environmental management, quality of accommodation – dining – experience, cultural interaction, community participation and social responsibility.
  • Set of criteria for Ecological Agriculture: focusing on sustainable farming methods, protecting natural resources, biodiversity, traceability and connecting tourism – experiential education.

Each unit participating in the network will self-assess their level of response according to a set of criteria suitable for the type of activity (tourism, agriculture or both). After completing the self-assessment file, the network management board will conduct a preliminary appraisal to determine the appropriateness.

Every year, the network will organize quality monitoring activities, including: reviewing records, updating self-assessment tables, field inspection (when necessary), as well as getting feedback from tourists. The monitoring process is not intended to create barriers, but to encourage units to continuously improve, thereby improving the overall quality of the entire network.

Units are ranked according to different levels of standard (e.g. Basic – Advanced – Pioneering). The level of standard will be publicly shown on the network website, helping tourists have more transparent information to choose reliable services. For units that cannot maintain the criteria, the network will have a mechanism to remind, support improvement and in case of need, suspension or withdrawal of certification.

With this mechanism, the network is not only a place to connect units but also a quality assurance system, helping to improve the reputation of the entire Moc Chau region, aiming to develop tourism and ecological agriculture in a sustainable and responsible way.

How to Join the Network

Step 1: Register online according to the type of activity

The provider accesses the “Register to Join the Network” section on the official website.
Here, there will be three Google Form links corresponding to three groups of business types:

  • Restaurant
  • Accommodation (homestay, farmstay, resort, small hotels…)
  • Agricultural production (farms, cooperatives, ecological farming models,…)

The provider selects the link that corresponds to their type of business and fills out the form. Each form consists of three main sections:

  1. General information about the provider: name, address, representative, contact information, description of activities,…
  2. Self-assessment form based on the corresponding criteria: helps the provider demonstrate its current level of compliance with ecological and service quality requirements.
  3. Required supporting documents to be attached

After completing the form and clicking “Submit”, the system will automatically send a confirmation email to the provider confirming successful registration.

Step 2: Create a profile and receive registrations

After the provider submits the form, the Network Management Board will automatically create a separate profile for the provider in the internal storage system. This profile will serve as the place to store all registration information, self-assessment forms, and any additional documents submitted later.
The provider will receive a confirmation email containing a dedicated link to their profile (or shared folder), allowing them to upload additional documents when requested.

Step 3: Assessment and standards classification

The Network Management Board and team of experts will review and assess the provider’s application. The assessment may include reviewing the self-assessment form, examining supporting documents, or conducting an on-site inspection (if necessary).

Based on the assessment results, the provider will be classified according to its level of compliance with the network’s criteria (e.g., Basic – Advanced – Pioneer). This transparent classification not only encourages providers to improve their quality but also gives visitors reliable information when choosing services.

Step 4: Approval & become an official member

After completing the assessment process, the provider will receive an approval notification and officially become a member of the Tourism Network & Moc Chau Ecological Agriculture

The provider will receive:

  • A membership certificate and the right to use the network logo.
  • Have their information displayed on the map and official profile page.
  • Participate in joint promotional and communication activities.
  • Connect with other network members to develop products, tours, and services along the ecological value chain.

To maintain their membership status, providers will be required to update their self-assessment forms and participate in annual periodic monitoring to ensure the overall quality and reputation of the network.
